Why Transfer?

IT'S WORTH IT Today's job market requires workers to have more education and skills than ever before.
Plus, a bachelors degree holder earns around $271 more per week than someone with
an associates degree - that's a new car every other year!

IT'S THE SMART CHOICE You can go two years for the price of one. Maysville Community College (MCTC) offers
many courses toward a bachelor's degree and lower tuition rates, so you can save money
by earning your associate degree at MCTC before you transfer.

IT'S FASTER Research shows that students who complete their associate degree before transferring
are more likely to earn their bachelors degree in less time.

IT'S EASIER Kentucky has statewide policies to help your general education courses transfer and
make it easier to transfer after you complete an associate degree.

IT'S BETTER MCTC transfer students are very successful and perform at either the same or higher
academic level after transferring to a four-year institution than students who start
at a university.

The MCTC Transfer Center offers individual advising to help you decide what is best
for you! Learn more about the possibilities at our Transfer Center Events, which include
a statewide Transfer Fair, a Transfer Week, visits from four-year institutions, and
much more!

KCTCS system-wide transfer agreements have been established with four-year institutions to create a pathway for students
who plan to complete a baccalaureate degree. Students and advisors may use this information
for academic planning and a list of agreements is available online.
